Convert GstarCAD to IFC - 3-Step Drawing Conversion

GstarCAD to IFC Conversion

Get it done in a flash - export GstarCAD drawings to IFC with three quick steps:

1. Install Automesher Application

   Export IFC files directly from GstarCAD drawings using Automesher Application - simply install the plugin and restart your CAD software.

2. Execute IFC Export

   Enter AmExportMesh in the command line. Then, select the 3D entities (e.g., Polyface Mesh, Polygon Mesh, 3D Solid, or 3D Face) from your GstarCAD model space that you want to export.

3. Save as IFC File

   Select IFC (*.ifc) as file type, choose the destination folder and file name, then click Save to complete the export.

GCAD GstarCAD - Convert DWG Drawings

GstarCAD, developed by Gstarsoft, is a powerful and cost-effective CAD software solution, known for its high compatibility with the DWG file format. DWG files are widely used to store 2D and 3D design data in architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing industries.

Key Features of GstarCAD and DWG Files

• Robust CAD Tools: Design precise 2D drawings and detailed 3D models using GstarCAD's comprehensive drafting and modeling features.
• Native DWG Support: Open, edit, and save .dwg files natively to maintain accuracy and ensure seamless collaboration across platforms.
• Customization and Automation: Optimize workflows with support for AutoLISP, VBA, and GRX APIs to automate repetitive tasks and extend functionality.

Convert DWG Files to 3D and GIS Formats

Boost GstarCAD's capabilities with our Automesher Application and Automapki Application. These tools enable the import and export of popular 3D formats like STL, OBJ, SKP, FBX, and STEP, along with GIS formats such as SHP, KML, and GeoJSON. Integrate 3D models and spatial data directly into your GstarCAD projects with ease.

Convert DWG files and bring real-world context into your CAD environment - streamline your BIM and GIS workflows with powerful GstarCAD-compatible file conversion tools.

IFC Industrial Foundation Classes (IFC) File Format

The IFC file format is an open, ISO-certified standard (ISO 16739) designed for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. As a vendor-neutral format, IFC facilitates seamless data exchange and interoperability between different software applications, eliminating proprietary barriers in collaborative building projects.

Key Capabilities of the IFC Format

The IFC format can store a comprehensive range of project data for AEC workflows, including:

• Detailed Geometry: The IFC format captures 3D representations through various entity types, such as solids, surfaces, curves, and point clouds, to accurately depict structures.
• Measurement Units: IFC supports diverse measurement systems (meters, inches, degrees, etc.), ensuring precise and consistent data interpretation across different software.
• Materials and Visual Properties: Control visual properties such as color and transparency using RGBA values for accurate representation of materials in the model.
• Optimized Storage: IFC's mapping system allows identical geometries to be referenced multiple times, improving storage efficiency and performance.
• Hierarchical Structure: Organize complex projects with named components and unique identifiers, making it easier to manage large-scale construction designs.
• Building Information Modeling (BIM): As a BIM-native format, IFC integrates building information such as properties, constraints, and relationships alongside geometry for comprehensive project data.

IFC File Conversion: BIM Interoperability Made Simple

Convert between IFC formats (including IFC2x3, IFC4 and IFC4.3) while preserving BIM properties and geometry data using Autoconverter or Automesher Application. Our tools maintain maximum compatibility when exporting to DWG, SKP, STL and OBJ formats, though some IFC-specific metadata may require manual mapping for optimal results in non-IFC conversions.

Easily import, export, and convert IFC files to various 3D formats with full support for custom properties. Try it now and optimize your AEC workflows!
